Presbytery Meets
Ths Presbytery of Nassau held their annual Fall meeting in the New Hyde Park German Presbyterian Church on Tuesday. Wbile there waa no exciting matter before the Presbytery, the meeting was interesting and the time all too short for a full consideration of the many varied interests of the differ¬ ent churches. From 9:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., the various items of business were earnestly considered. Then a devotional (prayer) meeting was held. When the first, hymn was announced, the leader called for someone to play tbe piano. None but thc dominie from Bellmore was able to answer that call.
Most of the churches were represent¬ ed by the pastor and an elder.
Some important overtures from the general assembly were approved, and one such disapproved.
One of ^e important duties of this meeting 18 the examination of the records of each church by representa¬ tives of some other churcn, and thus a uniformity of church government is conserved.
The ladies of tha\' church thought that the dinner was the mwt important pwrt of the prognun, and right well did thsy perform their duty,

There is a bell at Bellmore Av. and one coming for Bedford Ave., but these safeguards are not all the precaations that are needed to protect tne lives of the travelling public.

They come upon a crossing in no time, so to speak, and very often is not sounded. We should think, for bis own peace'of mind, the engineer would try to remember that he has a whistle cord in his cab.

Sewage Map Voted Down
The tax-payers Monday voted down a proposition to spend $1000. for a village map in anticipation of a sewer system being installed at some future time in that viUage. The vote against the pro¬ position was 137 and in favor 106. There was ooe defective ballot and two blanks cast.
The committee of citizens which in¬ stigated the movement to have a map made called public meetings and did everything in its power to arouse inter¬ est in the project and worked energeti¬ cally to get the votes in line last Mon¬ day but the odds were to strongly against carrying the project through. There were a good mamy stay-at hsmes which is a matter of regret. The Mea¬ senger believes that the proposition was one of sofflcent importance to warrant the interest of every property ower,

either for or against it. Some of the properiy owners voted against the pro¬ position Oli the idea that Freeport does not yet seed a map or sewage system, others were against from the stand¬ point that they would be obliged to .pay taxes, or interest, on bonds for some else's benefit, as it was not intended to cover the entire Village with the system if it was decided to erect one at tbe outset. A few voted against it (jecause of tbe mistaken idea that a map meant a sewage system must follow. Tbey made no secret of shouting aloud ^at they didn't intend to be put under the obligation of a bnndred thousand deilar bond issue and be harped on tbe lires¬ ent ^bt of the vrillage as a bugaboo.

The committee of citizens should not be discouraged by tfae vote of Monday. Its labors have just begun. The in¬ ception of the proposition to have a map made was a step in tlie right direction.

Presbytery Meets
Ths Presbytery of Nassau held their annual Fall meeting in the New Hyde Park German Presbyterian Church on Tuesday. Wbile there waa no exciting matter before the Presbytery, the meeting was interesting and the time all too short for a full consideration of the many varied interests of the differ¬ ent churches. From 9:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., the various items of business were earnestly considered. Then a devotional (prayer) meeting was held. When the first, hymn was announced, the leader called for someone to play tbe piano. None but thc dominie from Bellmore was able to answer that call.
Most of the churches were represent¬ ed by the pastor and an elder.
Some important overtures from the general assembly were approved, and one such disapproved.
One of ^e important duties of this meeting 18 the examination of the records of each church by representa¬ tives of some other churcn, and thus a uniformity of church government is conserved.
The ladies of tha\' church thought that the dinner was the mwt important pwrt of the prognun, and right well did thsy perform their duty,

They come upon a crossing in no time, so to speak, and very often is not sounded. We should think, for bis own peace'of mind, the engineer would try to remember that he has a whistle cord in his cab.

Sewage Map Voted Down
The tax-payers Monday voted down a proposition to spend $1000. for a village map in anticipation of a sewer system being installed at some future time in that viUage. The vote against the pro¬ position was 137 and in favor 106. There was ooe defective ballot and two blanks cast.
The committee of citizens which in¬ stigated the movement to have a map made called public meetings and did everything in its power to arouse inter¬ est in the project and worked energeti¬ cally to get the votes in line last Mon¬ day but the odds were to strongly against carrying the project through. There were a good mamy stay-at hsmes which is a matter of regret. The Mea¬ senger believes that the proposition was one of sofflcent importance to warrant the interest of every property ower,

A more effici- cent fire alarm system is to be installed at once" It is proposed to place a large whistle on the pumping station of the Brooklyn Water Works where steam is always up and some one in attendance. A telephone will bo installed at the sta¬ tion and the village divided into districts. Cards wiil be printed and scattered abroad giving the number of the vari¬ ous districts. In case of fire the station may be communicated with, and the number of districts where the fire is being given, the one in attendance will blow the appropriate numl)er upon the wbtistle.

either for or against it. Some of the properiy owners voted against the pro¬ position Oli the idea that Freeport does not yet seed a map or sewage system, others were against from the stand¬ point that they would be obliged to .pay taxes, or interest, on bonds for some else's benefit, as it was not intended to cover the entire Village with the system if it was decided to erect one at tbe outset. A few voted against it (jecause of tbe mistaken idea that a map meant a sewage system must follow. Tbey made no secret of shouting aloud ^at they didn't intend to be put under the obligation of a bnndred thousand deilar bond issue and be harped on tbe lires¬ ent ^bt of the vrillage as a bugaboo.

Sball Freeport stand bade on such an import¬ ant matter, when it will become a small sized dty, and coatinue with the ob¬ noxious and expensive cess-pool system which rt has at tlie present time. We think not.
The committee of citizens should not be discouraged by tfae vote of Monday. Its labors have just begun. The in¬ ception of the proposition to have a map made was a step in tlie right direction.
